💥THRM Should Anouce the Test for - “Deltacron”
A strain of Covid-19 that combines Delta and Omicron has been found in Cyprus, according to Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus and head of the laboratory of biotechnology and molecular virology. There are currently Omicron and Delta co-infections and we found this strain that is a combination of these two, Kostrikis said in an interview on Friday. The discovery was named Deltacron due to the identification of Omicron-like genetic signatures within the Delta genomes, he said. Kostrikis and his team have identified 25 such cases and the statistical analysis shows that the relative frequency of the combined infection is higher among patients hospitalised due to Covid-19 as compared to non-hospitalised patients.
